Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday called for establishing ‘Vishwakarma complexes’ in every village on the lines of modern malls to strengthen the concept of a ‘smart village’ in the State’s hinterland and help create self-reliant rural economies.
“In accordance with the intention of the Prime Minister, ‘Vishwakarma complexes’ should be built in every village to make the villages of the State ‘smart villages’. All arrangements will be made available under one roof for rural labourers to showcase their talents and provide services. This will also help make the rural economy self-reliant. Work should proceed quickly in this direction by coordinating with the Panchayati Raj Department,” Mr. Adityanath said while conducting a high-level review meeting of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Department.
The use of the term ‘Vishwakarma’ holds significance as, according to Hindu mythology, ‘Vishwakarma’ is the deity of craftspeople.
